In simplistic terms, the moon orbits the earth 13 times in a year. However, nothing is simplistic, in reality, the Moon will rotate around the Earth about 13.37 times.

How many moons will occur in 2014?

The question is a little vague; I'm going to assume you mean full moons. The synodic period (the time between two full moons) averages 29.53 days, which works out to about 12.4 of them per year. In any given calendar year there are either 12 or 13 full moons. 2014 is a "12 full moons" year; 2015 will have 13.

What is the chance of 2 blue moons in the same year it happens in 2018...how rare is that?

A "blue moon" has been defined as two full moons in the same month. This can happen in any month except in February. It isn't all that rare; it happens about every other year.Two "blue moons" in the same year can only happen in January and March, which is what happens in 2018. That's because February is the only month in which it's possible to NOT have ANY full moons; February has only 28 days, and a month is 28.5 days!We can expect this (two "blue moons" in the same year) about every 31 years; any time the Moon is full on January 2, it will be full again on January 31, March 2 and March 31.


Frequency of full moon?

The full moon occurs approximately once every 29.5 days. This means there are about 12-13 full moons in a year, varying slightly due to the length of lunar months and the calendar year.

How many full moons are in 100 years?

1243 at the moment. The moon is moving away from the earth but as of right now there will be exactly 2486 full moons between 1900-2100. There are 2400 months in those 200 years but 2486 full moons. This means 2486/2400 = 1.03583333 full moons per month or 12.43 full moons per year. Multiply by 1000 = 1243 full moons in a 100 year period. Most sources say there is a full moon every 29.5 days but this is slightly off. At a rate of 29.5 days for each full moon there will be 1238 full moons in 100 years. Perhaps it is the color blue, which causes blindness. After 38 blue moons the person can't see the remaining 5 blue moons in the 100 year period. Whereas scientists tell us the universe only exists because we looked at it, the remaining 5 moons really don't exist if we are blind. So the right answer in this case is 1238 full moons or less, depending when your eyesight goes.
